However, one thing remained untouched – the delicious recipe for the chocolate. Don't miss the opportunity to try out their world-famous chocolate sundae.
Expect to feel the real taste of Fisherman's Wharf on this tour. You will get a chance to try the finest seafood in one of the oldest restaurants in the area, visit the place where Irish coffee was first made in the US, and enjoy the legendary sourdough bread at Boudin Bakery.
Also, don't forget about Fisherman Wharf's bustling bay. You will get to meet a variety of marine animals and walk down a history lane when visiting the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park vessel collection.
You may get to start your adventure even before arriving at Fisherman's Wharf. Consider taking a cable car which is a moving monument in San Francisco. Choose the Powell–Hyde route and exit at its last stop – Hyde St&Beach St. The route is known as the most scenic and rollercoaster-like, as it goes by the highest hill in San Francisco.
Join the tour and enjoy the spirit and history of this must-see destination of the Bay Area.
